The couple decided not to wait, transforming their engagement into a beachside wedding attended by close friends and family. Matt shared a photo of the moment he popped the question on engagement.

Matt explained how he went from engaged to married during this romantic getaway.

Matt opened up about the spontaneous nature of his wedding during an interview on The Bobby Bones Show. He revealed that the trip to Mexico had originally been planned as the perfect setting for his proposal. He even had arranged for both of their parents to join them, ensuring that the moment would be shared with their closest family members.

However, about a week before the trip, something happened. He suddenly had a change of heart — not in a bad way. He didn’t want to stop at an engagement. In fact, he wanted to skip over it entirely. So, he reached out to a close friend named Will. He asked his friend to get ordained online and make the trip in case Kasey agreed to get married that same weekend.

After proposing on the beach, he told Kasey he thought the word “fiancé” was dumb and didn’t want to linger in the engagement phase of their relationship. He was ready to be her husband. He encouraged her to think it over, but it didn’t take her long to arrive at the same decision — she wanted to get married too.

So, with the help of his friend and their parents, the couple tied the knot on the very same beach he proposed on. Despite a massive lack of planning (especially in the clothing department), everything came together. Matt wore the same outfit he proposed in, and Kasey happened to have a white dress among the outfits she packed for the trip. Unfortunately, he did have to borrow a ring for the ceremony because he forgot to purchase one for himself.

While everything about this love story feels rushed, there was nothing but love and support from his fans and followers on Facebook. Overall, fans seemed to agree there was no reason to waste time being engaged when Matt already knew what he wanted.
